E.Marketing Department Flag Proposals for MKTG 320, 322,
340, and 342

The USS received a document entitled “notification” from the
Marketing Department regarding flag designations.The consensus of the USS was that the documentation did not
“demonstrate how flagged courses address the relevant outcomes for each
flag” as required by USP IV.B.1 (as the outcomes were not mentioned in said
documents.)

USS recommendation: Extend the current USP Director’s term by one
semester, to expire at the end of spring semester 2003.Rationale is that the search and transition to a new USP director would
be difficult to undertake in the current academic year.

2.Delete the distinction between “Foundation” courses
and “Core” courses.These
courses will be combined and referred to as “Required” courses.

3.Delete the statement “no grade lower than a “C”
except for statistics from both the WSU Undergraduate Catalog and the Criminal
Justice Student Handbook.The
Criminal Justice Program will now require all students to complete the
statistics requirement of the major with a grade of at least a “C.”

C.Psychology - B. A. Major - Psychology: Option A and
Option B. - Delete STAT 110 Fundamentals of Statistics (3) from Required
Courses. (currently an option and deletion will not change the number of credits
within the major.)
